Earlier, we wrote about how Democrat vice presidential nominee Tim Walz had, in effect, doubled down on outrageous comments he made Sunday where he compared attendees of GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump’s Sunday Madison Square Garden rally to Nazis.
At the time, Walz was echoing smears from the likes of twice-failed Democrat presidential candidate Hillary Clinton, telling a Nevada audience Sunday that, “There’s a direct parallel to a big rally that happened in the mid-1930s at Madison Square Garden.”
On Monday, Walz at first tried to tapdance around the issue when repeatedly asked about it, saying it was up to the American people to decide how they felt about the rally. At one point, after the third time he was asked the question, an uncomfortable-looking Walz simply remarked “I know what I saw, and I’ll just leave it at that.”

On Tuesday, Democrat presidential nominee Kamala Harris was finally asked about what Walz said and if she agreed with it or disavowed it.
Fittingly, Vice President Harris started off with a non-sensical word salad without directly answering the question, making the focus of her non-answer how allegedly dangerous Trump was for America rather than strongly distancing herself from her running mate insulting half the country in a way similar to how Hillary Clinton did in 2016 with her “basket of deplorables” swipe:
“I have said what I have to say which is he is dangerous and unfit.”

Understandably, the Trump campaign called Harris’ remarks “disqualifying”:

As we also reported – and as indicated in the WISN clip, Harris is planning on tripling down on her “Trump is a fascist” strategy during a speech she’s scheduled to give Tuesday evening, where one of the themes – incredibly – will be about “unity.”
She will do this even though internal polling from a pro-Harris super PAC reportedly shows that the tactic isn’t working and may in fact be backfiring, as detailed by my colleague Jennifer Oliver O’Connell, who correctly pointed out that these are the tactics of a desperate woman:
Whatever Harris plans to say tonight, her words will be useless to shore up what appears to be a campaign in freefall. However, as [investigative journalist Michael] Shellenberger warns, Americans need to gird their loins against the backlash. While this regime dislikes being ignored, they take even less kindly to being rejected.
We will of course have more on the speech later, including reactions. Stay tuned.
